Stenciled DIY Canvas Starfish Beach Bags

I want to share with you guys how to make personalized stenciled DIY canvas starfish beach bags or totes today. This is about the time of year when our local beaches begin to get crowded with families and tourists who travel in from all over the world. Vacations are much easier when everything is organized and runs smoothly including a well packed beach bag. After living at the beach for the last 5 years, I can say we’ve got our beach bag routine down to a science. The best way to stay organized at the beach and keep the sand away is to have a place for everything.

The funny thing is, I’m sharing my DIY canvas stenciled beach bags project as I’m packing to leave the beach behind and head north to the North House Lodge in VT for another round of big home improvement projects. But more on that later…. 🙂

We’ve found the easiest way to keep things in place and sand free when at the beach is to use several small bags to hold our stuff. These stenciled DIY canvas starfish beach bags have draw string tops and work perfect.

Wouldn’t it be fun to make a set of DIY canvas starfish beach bags bags for a family trip? Everyone could have their name on it or a special phrase that suits their personality. Sometimes I wonder why I didn’t come up with these good ideas when my kids were small. Oh well, at least my grandson benefits from my creativity 🙂

Pin this project for later!
